Abstract:
Several insect growth inhibitors (IGIs) and regulators (IGRs) were tested in the laboratory for their ovicidal and larvicidal properties on the codling moth C. pomonella , by dipping apples in solutions of them. The IGIs which block chitin synthesis – diflubenzuron, hexaflumuron and teflubenzuron – were noticeably more effective against eggs than on newborn larvae with preventive ovicidal 50% lethality concentrations (LC50) values of approximately 0.6, 1.3 and 15 p.p.m., respectively, and larvicidal LC50 values of 104, 1208 and 204 p.p.m. Flufenoxuron, on the other hand, is almost as effective on larvae (LC50 : 9.9 p.p.m.) as on eggs (LC50 : 5.4 p.p.m.). Fenoxycarb, an IGR juvenile hormone analogue, acts as an excellent ovicidal product with an LC50 value of 0.05 p.p.m. Tebufenozide, an IGR ecdyson (moulting hormone) agonist, is exclusively larvicidal with an LC50 at 0.4 p.p.m. Methoxyfenozide, an IGR of the same family and currently being developed, acts as effectively on eggs as on larvae with ovicidal and larvicidal LC50 values of about 0.6 and 0.8 p.p.m., respectively. When ovicidal products are applied as a curative treatment on eggs less than 24 h old, their effectiveness is much lower than that obtained from preventive application.
